"Enough." This young master slapped the case on his face, and finally calmed the civil servant who was polite. "Since you are willing to marry, then I want to ask, who would you like to go?"

All the civil and military ministers were stunned, grinning and staring blankly at the young master sitting on the couch. Seeing this guy holding the chrysanthemums one by one, he was panicked, even Han Shiye's face was tightened. I really don't understand why he was nervous. Could it be that he thought that he had the capital to become a little surrender just because of his rough image?

This young master rubbed his eyebrows, cleared his throat and explained: "Okay, what I mean is, who would like to contribute his daughter and give it to the Western Turks?"

Everyone stared at each other, one and two grinned, but no one dared to jump out and pat his chest and say that he was willing to contribute his daughter to the barbarians of the Western Turks.

I continued to say slowly: "You all love to talk. You are all important officials of the country and the pillars of the court. This matter is beneficial to the country and the people. I am a little selfish and do not want to use my daughter as a transactional goods. However, the earnest words of my dear ministers have forced me to consider it carefully."

"Who would like to take the initiative to contribute to the daughter coming out to marry Tongyehu, who was over 40 years old, and enjoy a grassland life that is so vast that it can freeze people to death in winter and wind blow people to the sky? If you are willing, please raise your hands." I looked at these guys with anticipation to see if there is any master who is not afraid of death, or who is willing to sell women to seek honor and will jump out.

"..." If the court just now was like a downtown on the street, the ministers were like vegetable sellers who were making trouble, but now the court was as deserted as a cold tomb, and these ministers were like silent ghosts wandering in the tomb.

"Why didn't you react?" This young master leaned on the handrail on the edge of the couch and looked at the important minister of the court who had become embarrassed and the country's pillar.

Just now, Wei Zheng, who had been silent, cleared his throat at this time and stood up. "Your Majesty, I think the focus between China and the Western Turkic Khanate is not on whether to be in harmony, but on interests."

I nodded with satisfaction. I like to hear these words. No matter how powerful the Western Turks are, so what? Isn’t China strong enough? As long as I am willing, I can equip millions of reserves at any time and immediately become an elite force.

Even if I gritted my teeth and ordered the large-scale artillery to be built, it would take only three to five months to cast at least more than five hundred artillery pieces. Of course, this is done at any cost, and the national treasury copper coins were returned to build artillery.

So to be honest, I am not afraid of the provocation of these barbarians now. I am not afraid of how sharp their bows and horses are. The advantages of the nomadic people will gradually disappear under the large-scale use of gunpowder weapons.

"Not bad, Wei Shangshu said this great good, I just said nothing, and I would like to forgive my crime." Fang Xuanling quickly applauded, and then apologized to me with a frank and lenient look.

"It's okay, I know that you are all loyal ministers of the country. What you just said just now is just asking you to express your opinions. What's the crime?" After whipping a whip, I naturally wanted to give you a sweet date. I am quite good at this. When I heard this, the ministers who were called the most fierce, especially those who had daughters of suitable age at home, breathed a long sigh, wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and looked like they were still scared. I think they also felt that it was not necessary to give their daughters to an old man as a wife.

However, if you send someone else to be a wife, you will really make a fuss in your own interests. At least your behavior is no different from that of a beast. Of course, my wife is not here, she is just making a fuss and joining in the fun. She will train her carefully when she returns home, and don’t despise her.

Next, everyone had a very tacit understanding and no longer mentioned marriage, but began to start from the interests. For example, through the Western Regions route, we can appropriately trade wine and horses with the Western Turks. In addition, as long as the Western Turks can ensure the safety of our merchants in the Western Regions, we will increase the amount of silk and tea to the Western Turks.

In short, these people finally began to discuss and discuss with each other sensible means that if trade exchanges with the Western Turks are strengthened, both sides can gain more benefits.

After all matters were discussed, Li Yuanfang was about to retreat, but I stood up and waved at him, then glanced at the many officials in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "What I want to tell you is that no matter what the reason of the past dynasties have been married, the Chinese Empire established by me will no longer have such things to use women to exchange peace or interests. I want you to let the people of my Chinese Empire know that my Chinese Empire has a backbone and a strong and strong bone..."

No matter how miserable or the situation faced is, women will never exchange for peace, and will never cede land and pay compensation. Do not marry, do not cede land, do not pay tribute, the emperor guards the country's borders, and the king dies in the country... At this moment, I suddenly felt like I had traveled through time and space and came to the last great dynasty established by the Han people.

Although she made such mistakes in the Ming Dynasty, who dared to slander her strong-willedness? How brave Zhu Yuanzhang was when he first started his army, he probably also heard how wise Zhu Di, the King of Yan, who later became Emperor Yongle, was, and probably probably heard how ridiculous Zhu Houzhao, the Emperor Zhengde.

But none of the emperors in the Ming Dynasty were corrupt. Look at Emperor Chongzhen who died for his country, look at the orthodox who was captured but never beg for mercy. Look at Rulongwu who died in the battlefield, look at Rushaowu who was captured and committed suicide on a hunger strike... All these things prove at least one thing, proving that their backbone is straight and hard.

The Ming Dynasty was indeed the only dynasty among all the empires in the ancient world that had a history of more than a hundred years. It had not signed any unequal treaties with other countries or forces, and it never surrendered to any force - even temporarily. The Ming army was the longest resistance in the world after the country was destroyed. They insisted on fighting the Qing Dynasty for thirty-eight years.

The Ming army was able to maintain such lasting combat effectiveness not only because the Ming Dynasty itself was not a dynasty with weak folk customs. Whether it was the emperors and the people of the Ming Dynasty, they all had a strong and unyielding personality. Whether it was the famous "Three Massacres of Jiading" or "Ten Days of Yangzhou", when you saw words like "Leave your head but not your hair, and leave your hair but not your head", when you saw "Since the beginning of the leap month of June, the people launched a spontaneous uprising against the Qing Dynasty, and within two months, there were more than ten battles of all sizes and big and small battles, and the people sacrificed more than 20,000 people, known in history as the "Three Massacres of Jiading," even if you never asked about that period of history, you would not be moved by it.

And I hope that all the Chinese nations of this era can remember this iron-minded body. I hope that the Chinese Empire I created will not only have strong national strength, but also have proud self-confidence and the backbone that will never surrender.

"...My Chinese Empire, whether it is an emperor, a minister, or a people in the world, should remember this." A thunder roared in the sky, and the strong wind blew into the court, stirring up the clothes of civil and military officials, and also stirring up the surging blood in their hearts.

Looking at the faces that gradually became excited and even excited, my heart felt as if a shocking wave was stirred up. Perhaps, in the future, they will forget a lot of things, but I believe that they will never forget this scene, forget what I said today, and the future will surely be engraved in my Chinese bloodline forever.

Let them no longer bow down to the alien races, and when facing swords and guns, they do not lead the neck and give their heads, but know that even if only teeth and fists are left, they must stand up and resist. Only in this way can the Chinese nation truly stand tall in the world.

On the same day, these remarks were printed in the Guanzhong Daily, which was specially printed on the same day, and spread through public opinion media such as newspapers, magazines, and the impact it brought far exceeded word of mouth.

My words are too encouraging, very inspiring, and more refreshing and passionate. Many literati even held the red and green in the pavilion, held the red and green, held the cups towards the sky, and recited loudly.

In the past, in the eyes of those scholars, the weight of the family far exceeded that of the country and the world. This is also the reason why those aristocratic families could have been passed down for thousands of years without falling. In the eyes of these aristocratic families, it doesn’t matter which dynasty or generation, whether it is Han people, or foreign races in power.

All they are worried about is the reputation of their family, whether they will spread for a longer time, whether their family's bloodline is prosperous, and whether their family's wealth can rival a country. Just like today, the families in the Central Plains are still living extremely well.

Even Dou Jiande, who was a peasant, or Wang Shichong, who was a lord, was in power, and no matter who was in power, they had nothing to do with them. What they needed was to cooperate with those in power. Moreover, they would also influence the people around them, or more people who depended on them, gathered around small groups, forming a family after family that had lasted for thousands of years without any change of dynasty.

Nowadays, the aristocratic families in Guanzhong and Bashu have lost the cohesion that has lasted for thousands of years. Yes, when the concept of the country and the world is becoming more and more deeply rooted in people's hearts, and when everyone is proud of the people of the Chinese Empire, the cohesion of the family can be said to be gradually collapsed.
